I have not been able to find much on this site about the National Stove Works Thermo-Control Indoor Wood Boilers. I was looking at the model 2000 or 3000 and was happy to learn that they were located in Cobleskill, NY only about 2 1/2 hours north of me. Any thoughts on theses stoves?
I spoke to a rep from Empyre yesterday and we spoke about how to calculate my heating needs...he came up with a reccomendation of the Empyre Elite 200 IWB.
Basically, I have 2800 sq/ft living space, 600 garage, 1600 basement at 3/4 below grade, and a proposed 1,000 sq/ft garage with room above that I'd like to heat.
The Thermo-Control folks claim that their stoves ( 2000 and 3000) put 20% of the heat output into the room where they are located, so I wasn't sure if I even needed to run heating pipes in the out building or just use the radiant heat that comes off the stove. Suppose I could run the pipes and turn the thermostat off.
My house currently heats with a Bock oil fired boiler with baseboard hot water and a phase III indirect water storage tank.
Thanks,
Shawnr
